The Gorge Outrigger Races for 2009 will not be hosted here at Bend Oregon Outrigger's website.  Please contact the race director JD for any information on the Gorge Outrigger Races for 2009. We look forward to seeing you there!

Competitors are invited to camp and rig at the Fairgrounds just a short walk or paddle from the race site, with everything you may need nearby in terms of restaurants, fuel, groceries, hardware, etc. Camping is included in registration fees, yet further services are available at www.skamania.org to meet your needs.

Please be prepared for changing weather conditions, a damp night and cloudy morning may very well lead to sunny skies with winds to 25 mph and 3 foot swells! Skirts are required on all OC6 canoes and leashes are mandatory on OC1, OC2, SUPs and Surfskis. PNWORCA rules apply. Safety boats will patrol the courses but crews are responsible for themselves - please be efficient at righting your canoes swiftly!

Spectators will be able to view the entire course from the Sternwheeler Pier at the start/finish where Hawaiian, Mexican food, and Espresso concessions will be offered as well as snacks and water. Craft concessions and clinics are welcome!!

Please download a registration packet and return the completed forms at registration on Friday, July 18. Registration will be from 3 - 7pm on Friday. Please note that each crew will need to submit an entry form and waiver. Paddlers without ACA or CORA numbers must fill out a USACK Waiver and pay an additional fee of $15.

Registration includes a race shirt, raffle tickets, camping and safety boats. Our staff looks forward to another excellent event and we hope to see you soon!
